Overall Outlook - The global economy is expected to show moderate growth in 2026, led by India, China, and the United States. Resilient consumer spending and easing of monetary policy in key regions should be essential drivers of economic growth. Continued investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to provide additional support. Military activity in the Middle East, shifting trade and inflation dynamics, and an uneven global recovery present risk to the growth outlook.
